Garden of Lies by Amanda Quick

Ursula Kern's dearest friend is dead. But was it suicide, an accident, or murder? Ursula is afraid that it's the last. So she's going to find out which by going undercover. But first she has to get out of her current job. 

Even though they've only worked together twice, Slater Roxton isn't ready to let Ursula go. Especially into something that promises to lead to great danger. And he knows great danger after having been left for dead (though he doesn't blame his friend) after a cave in. He wandered the labyrinth of caves for days before he made his way out and then was stuck on a desert island for over a year. Luckily, there was some sort of ashram where he learned The Principles of the Three Ways. Since his recent return, his legend has grown. And not just because he, his father's first-born, but bastard child was put in charge of his brother's finances. Nope. All sorts of legends swirling around this guy. And some of them true. As we're told over and over and over...

A perfectly good Quick book in the tradition of her non-Arcane series but I have to admit that I missed the paranormal.

Three stars
